As rapid development of medical technology, virtual reality (VR) technology has been extensively applied in anesthesiology training. Anesthesia simulation base on virtual reality technology offers an innovative teaching method for the professional training of anesthesiologists, both anesthesia technical training and improving teaching efficiency. The anesthesia technical training, include airway management, spinal/epidural anesthesia, nerve block skill training, and pain management. In addition, virtual reality is improving teaching efficiency, include distance teaching, doctor-patient communication simulation and scenario simulation. It allows trainees to practice and refine critical clinical skills in a highly realistic simulation without any risks, especially in the high risk and technically demanding field of anesthesia. At present, literature is lacking on the recent virtual reality technology in anesthesia simulation. Hence, this article will summarize the reference basis for current application status of virtual reality technology in anesthesia simulation, aiming to provide insights for future teaching in anesthesiology simulation. This article is useful for anesthesiologists, clinical staff, teaching professors, and researchers in the field of simulation teaching.
随着医学技术的飞速发展，虚拟现实（VR）技术已在麻醉学培训中得到广泛应用。基于虚拟现实技术的麻醉模拟为麻醉医生的专业培训提供了一种创新的教学方法，既包括麻醉技术培训，又能提高教学效率。麻醉技术培训包括气道管理、脊髓/硬膜外麻醉、神经阻滞技能培训和疼痛管理。此外，虚拟现实正在提高教学效率，包括远程教学、医患沟通模拟和场景模拟。它使学员能够在高度逼真的模拟环境中练习和完善关键临床技能，而无需承担任何风险，尤其是在高风险和技术要求高的麻醉领域。目前，缺乏关于虚拟现实技术在麻醉模拟方面的最新文献。因此，本文将总结虚拟现实技术在麻醉模拟中的当前应用状况的参考依据，旨在为未来麻醉学模拟教学提供见解。本文对麻醉医生、临床工作人员、教学教授以及模拟教学领域的研究人员具有参考价值。
